[Supras] MKIV front brake conversion on eBay

[Walker, Brian1 (Rich. Dist)]

Where are the dust shields? I'd like to hear more on this, it makes sense
the upper/lower ball joints would fit since I've been told Toyota uses a
proprietary taper so I'd assume it's the same for most of their applications
but how different is the geometry? I wonder if you'd be able to get the
alignment to an acceptable range with the different knuckle? They also look
a far amount smaller than the stockers so they're probably a bit lighter but
I don't know why the tie rod ends wouldn't work (maybe different angle on
the mk4?)

Those pads alone sell for over $200 but I can't imagine ever setting all
that up to where it works and not using it. It's a great alternative if you
could get it to work without binding and get the alignment dialed in.
Just my $.02.

Apparently it is possible to do this swap of the whole hub & caliper? I can
't imagine it would be too easy considering he mentions having to alter the
length of the tie rods...

Any input?
